Verse
Long live…
The shade has come upon us, long live and prosper summer
I'm living life anonymous, spew phonics undercover
It’s a long way from the suburbs, city lights, city bright, city nights, city heights
What's not plausible is slumber
I traded in my social life to rip apart an open mic
I'm grinding on my teeth, I might need braces for the over bite
I’m focused on my bread, you on a no soda and tofu diet
Haven't sat on my new couch, have had no time to try it
I'm just a man who has a plan to be something bigger than a giant
I really start to float away when I close my eyelids
Been living life on top the north pole, I'm cold as ice
I watched my family drift away slow, that's the coldest sight
I'm so prepared to blow, I hope this happens overnight
I’m focused through rods and cones, my eyes are supernova bright
There's so much I have to show, these lyrics are so concise
Devoted to poetry, just know this flow stole my life
Industry full of lies
In these beats I've told no lies
Every time I speak I roll the dice
I’m trapped in poltergeist
I’m spending time with older guys
They the ones who told I'm wise
But that's should come as no surprise
I been working overnight, overtime
Developed an over bite cause over time
My molars grind from flow of rhyme
Relieve the pain from toking dime
Inhale a ghost as I go for nine
Nine to five, my studio glows from the open sign
I got my own agenda, my own time
I'm so divine, I'm sort of high
We all live life then go and die
Really, what really is a person anymore?
We only know commotion if an iPhone notifies (Woah.)
I got voices in my head, I got no alone time
Opposite to step, is adjacent to cosine
Middle finger to a label rep, motherfuck a co-sign
They suffocate your breath like after a coke line
All about the bread, money hunger is filling
They telling me to make a killing
Until my pen is spilling blood
I need a drug like penicillin
This music that we love has hell as a ceiling

Bridge
The sum of a man is day by day, average it
The sun is so grand, ray by ray, immaculate
Have a sip
The sum of a man is day by day, average it
The sun is so grand, ray by ray, immaculate
Fountain of youth, have a sip
Nicky’s tapping in
Sum of a man is day by day, average it
The sun is so grand, ray by ray, immaculate
The sum of a man is day by day, average it
The sun is so grand, ray by ray, immaculate
It’s the fountain of youth, have a sip
